  https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-ant-s-secret-to-moving-mountains--69517528 Have you ever looked at a problem in your life—or our community—and felt like it was just too big to move? We see the "grasshoppers" of economic disparity, family tension, and systemic hurdles, and we feel small. We try to tug at them by ourselves until we burn out. In today's episode, we're looking at a Tanzanian proverb that reveals the simple, mathematical power of Ujima. We’re moving away from the exhaustion of solo effort and into the efficiency of collective work. There is a specific way to "yoke" your energy with others that makes the impossible feel light. If you’re tired of pulling and getting nowhere, it’s time to change your strategy. Tune in to find out why two are always better than one.

Baby Cart Assassin vs. Highbanks

Image
Yesterday the Baby Cart and the Assassin was whooped on, by the hills of Highbanks metro park. Although there were some beautiful sites like a snake crawling down a tree after hunting for birds, or seeing the Bald Eagle in it's nest. I simply was not ready to be lugging my kids up and down those hills. Now I have set my sites on mastery highbanks, and all she has to teach me about endurance and nature. My children enjoyed themselves but victory fell from my grasp as I had to cut my run short after what seemed the 8th hill. I shall return to complete my mission.

Life (can't remember whether i posted this or not)

Life is a river/ Flowing around obsticles/ Seeking out the sea/ This life is a blessing and we must embrace it. We must learn to embrace the flow knowing that in the end we will end up in the sea. What is the sea? The sea is simply the source from which we all came from. The sea is our reward for the course we have taken. Sometimes we have to flow around obsticles, other times we have to smash through them, but at all times we have to keep the end in mind. If not we can get trapped in the flow of events. Rivers must flow and stay in motion or they will go stagnent and kill everything that is around them.
